Off topic, and I haven't been around much lately so i'm out of the loop, but PLEASE tell me these recent Pitbull gif postings are an ironic "good luck" pic post, unlike Filet-o-Fish (b/c Filet-o-fish commercials are awesome, and Pitbull is a pile of garbage festering in rancid diapers)

oh yeah, good to see 87 back on the ice!

For the rest of my life, I'll associate Pitbull with this season and specifically the 15 game winning streak. Here we go.

From a medical perspective this is an outstanding sign. It basically means he has healed enough to not require further infection, passed the period with the highest risk of infection. I would not be surprised to see Crosby trying out a few different devices although secretly he probably already has. From my experience at Pitt Med we not only have one the best orthopedics programs in the country but our maxillofacial surgery is tops as well. Crosby and Martin clearly received outstanding care and have evidence of healing in about 2 weeks those repairs will be stronger than before. Crosby is set right now and will be back for the playoffs with little ill effect. Martin still has to get over the hump in terms of scar tissue effecting tendon function but looks good that the let him stick handle as well as skate. Neal reportedly symptom free. Malkin day to day.

Absolutely. I had seen the commercial numerous times and thought it was annoying as hell. Then one day I saw the gif and for some reason it totally cracked me up.

I don't think I knew anything about this dude prior to the commercial - but when I saw it, it reminded me of the "old guy at the club" bit by Chris Rock. "He ain't really old, just a little too old to be in the club."

Anyway - great news to see 87 on the ice! My complete guess would be that he'll play in the last regular season game.
